Does anyone know what happened to Mary Kelly who was my grandfathers sister? We know she settled in New York and married a man named STEEN/STEENE or STEIN. She had a brother, James, also living in New York |

Dear Carole,
The Mary Kelly who sailed on the Titanic settled in New York City, married John J. Heslin, and died in Brooklyn, New York, on December 27, 1950. She is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York. Unfortunately, her grave is unmarked.
I hope this helps. |

Thank you Michael,
Do you know whether she was ever married to someone named Steene and whether she had any children? |

Hi Carole,
Mary Kelly was only married to John J. Heslin, and the couple had several children. I knew her son James well, and the two of us had a lengthy correspondence many years ago.
I believe there may be some confusion concerning the real Mary Kelly who sailed on the Titanic. Mary Kelly Heslin was born on 9 February 1891 in Castlepollard, County Westmeath, Ireland. She was 21-years-old when she sailed on the Titanic.
I hope this will shed some additional light on the Mary Kelly you were inquiring about.

Hello Michael,
My brother, Michael, feels it must be the same person because the age is correct and the family came from the same area in Eire. Apparently, she was so traumatised by the journey to the US she was afraid to travel again, do you recall your friend ever mentioning that. Also, did he mention that he had an uncle Jim living in NY who travelled to England to visit his brother, Joseph, who had a farm?
Thanks again for your help |

I'm looking fir as much information about Mary Kelly and her descendants. According to the Senen Maloney book "The Irish Aboard the Titanic" she looked after the Titanic Orphans in Collapsible D, but other books make no mention of her when discussing the Titanic Orphans. Any help and info is greatly appreciated.
